Click on the picture to go to a short You Tube video on Blood Diamonds. Yes, you heard me right... I am getting into this more, especially with the approaching release of the movie next weekend.
Kevin once asked me this infamous question, "If you could go back in time, what time would you go to?" Well... The answer really depends on my mood, as they always do with defining questions like this. I remember I said, "I'd go back to the time of Martin Luther King Jr. And the civil rights movement" It really doesn't sound that glorious... It would be heartbreaking to watch the way we treated each other in that day... And sickening to watch the violence and anger it had to generate... But it would be monumental to be a small part of that great movement- a movement for humanity, for relationships, for people, for us. Of course, they didn't know how it would end, yet they still fought. I'd stand with them as they were sprayed with huge water hoses and pelted with rubber bullets. Of course, I know... I am not African American- but that's not the point. The point is humanity- and what we think of it. That thought process is worth defending and worth fighting mightily for. And I would most definitely be a part.
What are you fighting for?
Now I go back to working at my desk...
